Have you always wanted to work with birthing families? Maybe your dreams can be fulfilled by becoming a birth doula.
A DONA-approved Birth Doula Workshop is being held on
For the 16 hour DONA-Approved Birth Doula Workshop, we will be covering the following objectives:
· Introduction and interpretation of Penny Simkin’s research on the long-term significance of birth and Drs. Kennell and Klaus’ research on the effects of labor support and its relation to contemporary maternity care
· A description of the emotional needs of the laboring woman and hands-on techniques to meet those needs to enhance the birth experience
· Discussion of the unique needs of women during cesarean sections, VBAC or birth with abuse survivors
· Demonstration and hands-on applications of effective comfort measures and labor and birth positions
· Role-model and group role-play of workshop objectives
· Prenatal visits and postpartum concerns-including integration of the birth memory
· Ways to organize, promote and market a doula program or service
· Ideas to work with difficult variations of labor
· Breastfeeding and normal newborn appearances
This workshop is approved for the workshop requirement of the DONA International doula certification process. The workshop includes an extensive workbook.
To get the most out of the workshop, it is best to come with a working knowledge of the birth process. Although there are no prerequisites other than the interview below, you can increase your knowledge by doing any of the following: 1) Being a child-birth educator, 2) Being a midwife, 3) Being a L & D nurse, 4) Attending a 12 hour series of childbirth education at a time when you are NOT pregnant (this will also count toward certification) OR 5) Reading a good childbirth education book like Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn by Penny Simkin or The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth by Shelia Kitzinger.
You will also need to interview a woman who is over the age of 60 about the birth of one of her children. An interview follows the registration form below. You can bring the interview with you to the first day of class.
To learn more about certification, see www.DONA.org and look under Professional Development then Certification Overview. We will also be going over all the requirements in the class. You do not have to be a member or purchase your certification packet before you come. You will have to purchase the certification packet before you begin attending births that count toward certification but you also have to take your workshop before your births count for certification. You can purchase them later if money is tight or you will not start attending births immediately. You can purchase membership any time before you turn in your completed certification packet.
The cost for the workshop is $350. If you need to arrange for a payment plan, please let me know. Save $25 by registering before Sept. 17, 2008.
Cancellation Policy: Requests must be received in writing before
BIRTH INTO BEING
Limbic Imprint Re-coding Birthshops - with Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova
Twenty five years of thorough research in the field of prenatal psychology show undoubtedly a direct correlation between the way we were born and our subconscious behavioral and emotional patterns- defining the quality of our experience of being in the body throughout our entire life. We come into this world wide-open to receive love. When we receive it as our first primal experience, our nervous system is limbically imprinted, "programmed" with the undeniable rightness of being. Being held in mother's loving arms and seeing the great joy in father's eyes provides us with the natural sense of bliss and security; it sets the world as the right place for us to be in. If our first impressions of being in the body are anything less than loving, then that "anything" imprints as a valid experience of love. It is immediately coded into our nervous system as a "comfort zone," acting as a surrogate for the love and nurturing, regardless of how painful it actually was. Statistically, 95% of births in the US are rated as "traumatic". As adults, we unconsciously re-create the conditions that were imprinted at birth. But it turns out it's not very difficult to create a brand new Limbic Imprint. It's very effective instead of trying to fix the old "programming" (by re-living the initial shock of being born) - just acquire a whole new vivid, rich, wonderful and sweet birth experience. Birthshop participants can have an actual in-the-body experience of being conceived, gestated and born in love and ecstasy. The Birthshops combine lecture/exercise/specific movement/specific breathing/ role-playing - it's very entertaining!
We as adults have the opportunity to heal our own birth trauma, regain our authentic power, and set the stage for our children to step into their lives as peaceful, empowered guardians of Earth.
Location: Well Rounded Momma Center Las Vegas, NV
